Charsadda, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is famous for its hand-woven, coarse, cotton fabric known as khaddar or khadi, which is a popular cloth across the country. As the freezing winters come knocking on the doors, khaddar arrives in the city’s markets and business is often brisk.
Ihsan Ullah, 35, has been selling khadi for the last eight years. “I have a website and I receive khadi fabric orders online from different cities,” he says as he rolls away yards of fabric at his shop in Charsadda market. “My business is expanding and we sell a variety of khadi fabric,” he adds.
